FALvonKyffhausen Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I have a picture of a distant relative who apparently worked in the Munich Feldherrnhalle and was seen as a role model for the Nazis because of his athletic ability. My question now is whether it could be that he was a member of the SA? Can you tell from the uniform, the badge or the angle on the arm, or maybe rule it out?

FALvonKyffhausen Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Thank you Andreas Do you know if the man could be a member of the SA / Sturmabteilung, because of the SA-Wehrsportabzeichen, which he got before 1941. And is the V on his Arm the``Ehrenwinkel für alte Kämpfer``? I also know that he worked in the Feldherrnhalle in Munich. It would e very nice if you could help me.

FALvonKyffhausen Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Thank you Andreas! I understood that, but could it be possible that he was a member of the SA? He worked in the Feldherrnhalle in Munich and got this SA-Wehrsportabzeichen. Do you know if that could make him a possible member, or do you know how to identify former SA-Member.

FALvonKyffhausen Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Danke! Aber schade, da ich nicht einschätzen kann, wann er das Abzeichen erhielt. Mit freundlichen Grüßen v. Kyffhausen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hi, You´ll never know it, unless You have his Soldbuch, Wehrpaß or Verleihungsurkunde. If You know his name and he is a family member from You, it is possible to do some reseach via: https://www.bundesarchiv.de/DE/Content/Artikel/Ueber-uns/Aus-unserer-Arbeit/z-kartei-pa.html Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
